"…Living only for the moment, turning our full attention to the pleasures of the moon, the snow, the cherry blossoms and the maple leaves; singing songs, drinking wine, diverting ourselves just floating, floating….refusing to be disheartened, like a gourd floating along with the river current; this is what we call the floating world…” Asai Ryoi, in Ukiyo Monogatari (Tales of the Floating World, 1661)

Daily Life: FJ&L
I am stopped for dinner with my nephew at Frankie, Johnnie & Luigi's in Westgate West. He is having a cheese pizza and I cheese ravioli in a bolognese sauce. It's a beautiful California evening, with a warm and bright sun.
